Right around 80% of botting occurs in just 9 HS regions.

To me, that sounds like botters have pretty much abandoned Null.

And whats wrong with hisec industry.? i though that nullsec industry is borked and need serious buff..

Essentially the OP is a bit like Nixon saying back in the '70s "... if we eliminate California all those d@mn hippies will have to give up this peace and Love nonsense and will all see the error of thir ways and join the army and go fight in 'nam" . In reality they would have just all moved to Portland.

Think about what you are saying:

CCP > Botting is against the rules.
CCP > We know where the botters are.
The botting continues.

^ non-sequitur

That graph also does not say how they are determining percentage. Is it percentage of bot-associated characters? Is it accounts? Is it resources mined? Is it time spent botting? Or is it just the percentage of accounts banned? For all you know, high sec is just where bots are most likely to get reported. We can't really say who is doing the most damage. Can we?

And, why wouldn't we expect that the place where the most people play to also be the place with the most rule violations?

Wrecking hi-sec won't fix nullsec.

Hi-sec needs some rebalancing in areas like industry, but the aim of any change to a game should be to make it better not worse.

It sounds like there is still work to do then?

So hundreds of 50% time bonuses slots possible in a single Null outpost aren't considered an advantage?

I'm sorry, but the 'High sec has more slots' argument is now patently false.

And..... the last question. Why is it bad that high sec is the best at one thing?

In fact, reduced NPC production slots could make it less crowded if everything is done right: those with access to superior production facilities in null will use those and stop crowding highsec, leaving the reduced NPC production slots near-empty to those who can't or won't move away.

More get killed in 0.0 per head of population than in high sec at any given time and more ships get killed overall in 0.0 than in highsec. I recall seeing that the bulk of killed ships are also made by just a single organisation in highsec.

Its going to take years and some very vocal high sec bears will scream and fight the whole way.

Sorry Tippia, most of the time i agree with most of your posts but this is nothing less than "if you want to manufacture, join nullsec or go F.. yourself".

Maybe i have expressed wrong myself with that "overcrowded" slots.. Yes i meant that there are overcrowded near trade hubs..

But the reduction of MS in hisec would mean significant discrimination for people playing on prime time (most of the slots would be occupied near or in trade hubs) while those playing on out time (sorry i dont know opposite English word for primetime) would have significant advantage as MS would be not so occupied.

Please provide me a single station which has that also Tippia.

There are hundreds of empty manufacturing slots within 5 jumps of Jita.

Read Baltec's corp/alliance. Then his posting history. Then understand he will keep posting till Null Sec is king and high sec is nothing but newbie systems and all worship Mittani.
Some of the other goons actually have some reasoning behind their arguments, not just blind hate for high sec.

Than may I suggest that whilst running missions in hi-sec, null-sec folk could utilize these empty manufacturing slots.

We do, that's the problem. We want to build our things in our space but we are punished if we do that by the game mechanics.

Except you aren't punished any more. Not with hundreds of slots with bonuses to certain types of construction. You just won't be satisfied till high sec can't produce anything anywhere near the price null can. Nothing to do with entitlement other than yours. You believe you are entitled to the best at everything and everyone else gets the dregs. Someone else has something EQUAL and you scream. Because the costs for the industrialist don't include the outposts.

Then you are arguing for a specific system to be nerfed Tippia. Not high sec in general, since high sec in general does not have anything remotely close to your claims.

Probably was true sometime back Shirley, but Null industry received HUGE buffs less than a year ago, and most of them are still talking pre buff for their arguments.
